For the young adults, elderly, and even the parents that want to get away from their children for a while, I decided to make them a tranquil area. This area has seating that is surrounded by trees which provide shade. Its located on the left of the upper level of the park, tucked away in its own little world. Plus, the fountain provides that smooth and tranquil sound of water flowing that relaxes just about anyone.

Adaptive Reuse

Architects often find creative ways to reuse old structures that are no longer in use. Check out how old rail lines were adapted to create New York's High Line and Chicago's 606.

Comments

I like that you used a small water feature in your park. It might not be cost effective, but it looks aesthetically pleasing.

I like how you created a part in the park for young adults and the elderly. The place seems peaceful. It shows that little kids aren't the only ones that use the park.
